Clio 200 help!

[JCjack]

Ever since getting the car in May, my 200 Cup has always made a strange noise. It's REALLY irritating and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what it is. HELP!!!

The only way I can describe the noise is it being 'similar' to when power steering makes the gurgling noise as if fluid is struggling to get through the pump.

It only seems to do it at high revs turning right then slightly eases away as the car straightens back up, there is no effect on steering at all i.e. it doesnt go heavy then light and as said before only turning right but not left.

Any suggestions would be mega helpful!

The only thing i csn suggest is take it to toomey southend and ask for matt, he is a renaultsport technician also has an alien green 200 and is a club member or come to cs14 im sure someone could help.

could their be a pin hole in power steering system that is letting air in/fluid out and turning right irritates it more so than left?! Iv had something similar in my old audi TT where full lock would cause the pump to spit fluid out, straight line driving was fine, but on either lock it would dump fluid!

the power steering is electric, so no fluid, but you could check the shuttle drains under the shuttle panel, quite common to block up.

Didn't know that! Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

Thanks, I'll do my best to have a decent look at the weekend, if not I'll pop down there then. Pretty sure Matt's got the supercharged one right?

Okay thanks I'll have a look and see if I get any luck, appreciate the help!

Nail, head. The small drainage holes underneath the plastic trim will be blocked and the noise you hear when turning is the trapped water sloshing from side to side. Very common issue.
